About Understanding...

It's not like a movie that you can rewind and watch again so you can see what you missed. It's not like a book that you can read over and over again. It's too bad we can't do that in real life: rewind time or reread and relive something that happened yesterday so we can further our understanding, to see something the second time that we didn't see the first time, to see something the third time that we didn't see the first or second time that helps us piece everything together. Everybody gets different things from movies, from books, from life; the only difference is you can return to a book and a movie a second time and see what you missed, but you can't rewind or reread life. The first time, Jenny may get something that Johnny missed. But Johnny may get something that Jenny missed. And when they go in again they will see that one is not right and the other wrong. They both see different elements of the world and the things they missed may become more apparent the second time.
